Installation VisualEditor

Dear all, I'm an early eager tester for new wysiwyg editors. Let me know how

• the installation procedure works
• how to save pages using VisualEditors
• other things to watch out.

many thanks, --Stoettner 10:54, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Currently you can only test it by going to Special:VisualEditorSandbox on this site. Amir E. Aharoni 15:01, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

I have some trouble installing the extension. When I install on MediaWiki 1.18.1 and visit the Special:VisualEditorSandbox page, these javascript errors occur:

Unknown dependency: mediawiki.feedback

mw.user is undefined

Running on SVN rev 114121 of MediaWiki 1.20, I get these errors:

mw.loader::execute> Exception thrown by ext.visualEditor.sandbox: ve.ce is undefined

TypeError: ve.ce is undefined

Let me know what additional information I can provide. Is there a mailing list, or an installation FAQ?

Thanks, Adamw (talk) 16:44, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

In my opinion the README-file should contain, what has to be written in the LocalSettings.php.

Does anybody know that? I kinda need help with this point. Thx in advance!

Yes, it would be nice to have installation directions . . . . . somewhere. We have test servers and it would cool if we could install and test the code out on them. I don't understand why no one provided installation instructions.

I downloaded and installed the lastest code using the traditional method of installing extensions and I do see the "visual editor sandbox" in my special pages but obviously i'm missing something since there's no edit panel in the window. 98.175.24.176 18:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I've added installation instructions, hope it helps. Eloquence (talk) 18:22, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you , thank you. I'll try and see if I can install it locally. again thanks. 98.175.24.176 14:50, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

I've followed the installation instructions with a git clone from trunk and I'm not seeing VE when I try to create/edit within the VisualEditor: namespace. Am I missing something? Should I be using an earlier git revision? --Spektre1 (talk) 21:20, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Did you ever get an answer to this? I have the same problem on ubuntu 12.10/mediawiki 1.19 74.117.192.252 19:50, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

I've also followed the installation instructions, I can also edit Special:VisualEditorSandbox but no WYSIWYG edition bar

neither interface shows up.

I've tried to install Parsoid but I get stuck with installation instructions (with node.js).

Could anybody help me, please? Thanks a lot. Massegu (talk) 15:10, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

I ended up figuring it out way later. It was a problem with the Parsoid config and my mediawiki extensions. Parsoid config in js/api/localsettings.js should have:

env.setInterwiki( 'localhost', 'http://localhost/w')

to map to the correct subdir on my apache server. Additionally, I was having problems with getting Parsoid to hook to the API because I'm using access restrictions. At the time that wasn't supported, I don't know if it is yet. Spektre1 (talk) 22:58, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Release Candidate

Hello all,

Has there been any update to a release candidate. I have a development and production environment I would like to implement this in. The users know that this is a new product and can help identify bugs.

Thanks! Justin Jwestyp (talk) 02:41, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not a developer, but deployment of this on Wikimedia is expected by July with testing this month. Jasper Deng (talk) 02:48, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Where is testing going to take place? I have the current git on my wiki development site, but only see an option for sandbox preview. I would like to get it on the actual edit page. I am afraid I am missing some dependency as my sandbox will only work for one edit and once I press enter, the wikitext preview breaks. Jwestyp (talk) 15:08, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Resource loader does not load the files

For some reason the resource loader (printTail()) does not seem to add VisualEditor resource files to the document. What might be wrong? I am using MediaWiki 1.19, I've upgraded from older versions, perhaps that has something to do with this? 83.150.125.141 08:40, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

How'd you determine that? I'd like to verify if that's the issue I'm running into. I'm using the trunk from about 2 days ago and it doesn't appear to be working for me either. Spektre1 (talk) 15:21, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Email distribution list?

Is there an email distribution list to follow the development of this extension? I'm keen to follow the progress of this as it advances. 149.155.213.72 15:40, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

There is no specific mailing list about VisualEditor; however, there is some discussion in wikitech-l and the more specific wikitext-l. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 16:54, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
